I like your phrase 'an inadvertent collection.' My mother-in-law had an inadvertent collection of frogs. Once she started, frogs flooded in from all sides. Now that she has died, the grandchildren love playing with them.Juliethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01542985048406828693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-764237570467034909.post-32410069473898847052017-08-03T15:29:00.982-04:002017-08-03T15:29:00.982-04:00I've only collected two groups of stuff.

And I inadvertently have a small collection of hedgehogs (toy ones) that my grandchildren also love and have started adding to with their birthday and Christmas gifts to me. I guess when I truly de-clutter, all this stuff will go to the kids, and they can think of me when it comes time for THEM to de-clutter!Carol Crump Brynerhttp://blog.carolcrumpbryner.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-764237570467034909.post-45200037346653519462017-08-03T09:40:25.529-04:002017-08-03T09:40:25.529-04:00I'm not really a collector, as such, since you...I'm not really a collector, as such, since you've discounted books. ;) Briefly, in my 20s, I gathered a small collection of unicorns, but that's been about it. Nevertheless, I've still ended up with a small mishmash of dust-catchers, more than I really want or need. ;) But I do adore that lovely blue hippo of yours!Darlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03979866600334392422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-764237570467034909.post-41411893445926327282017-08-03T08:17:56.444-04:002017-08-03T08:17:56.444-04:00Oh, yes, Barb -- I need to become completely ruthl...Oh, yes, Barb -- I need to become completely ruthless in my de-cluttering.Vicki Lanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08114677510459055768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-764237570467034909.post-23162338894763341012017-08-03T08:04:41.890-04:002017-08-03T08:04:41.890-04:00I have given away/sold many of my collections...bu...I have given away/sold many of my collections...but still have so much "junk" which means things that have little value as useful or even decorative measures. How did I end up at this final stage of my life surrounded by things nobody wants, and probably not even myself if I thought hard about it? Well, I just haven't gone through a lot of it yet. Time to stop procrastinating. But then, it's never time to do that!Barbara Rogershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08351113054045427775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-764237570467034909.post-79680215659760992852017-08-03T06:33:46.985-04:002017-08-03T06:33:46.985-04:00Not a collector although I have hung onto a bit of...Not a collector although I have hung onto a bit of a stamp collection from my childhood.Anvilcloudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07974744042579564912noreply@blogger.com
